About

My name is Ashlee and I am the owner and creator of Wylde Ivy.  I have a passion for scents, a love of color and texture, and a deep desire to create and capture all things unique and wonderful. I began making my own soaps in 2005 when I owned and operated two hair boutiques.  As the owner and purchaser for the salons, I became quite schooled in hair and skin care needs and ingredients.  I had a deep personal love affair with a particular bar soap that I purchased through one of my suppliers.  One day that soap was discontinued.  I went into an obsessed, caffeine fueled mission to find a replacement.  Through all my shopping and research, a crazy little idea sparked to life in the back of my mind..."you can do this".  So with mad obsession fueling me, I was soon consumed by soap making books and online research and neck deep in bars of soap....my soap.

Soon, my husband and I and our family and friends had more soap then we'd be able to use in a lifetime. With prodding from my salon customers, the first few bars of my soap were placed on the shelf for sale.  They were gone in a day.  More took their place and more, and more.  To my astonishment, the soap was selling.  My soaps needed company of the shelves.  Nothing goes with soap better then lotion.  Soon I was developing more body products like creams and lotions and even a hair care line (of coarse!).  

A year later, I constructed a very basic website with the help of the "HTML Programming for Beginners" book I stole from my husband.  The only intent of that website was for my current customers to keep in touch and see what was currently available.  Imagine my shock when orders started pouring in from not just all over the United States but the whole world.  I just couldn't keep up with the demand, at least not working in the salon full time.  I made the bittersweet decision to close my salon doors, shut my eyes, and leap into the soap making biz letting Wylde Ivy take me where it may.  Here I am, over ten years later and I wouldn't change a thing!

I love soap.  Soap started all of this for me.  I will always love soap.  There is something so humble yet so extraordinary about a bar of handmade soap.  My story doesn't stop with soap though.  My story involves perfume too.   It was shortly after committing to Wylde Ivy full time that I (again with the prodding of my customers) released my first line of perfumes.  It was a simple line of perfumes, nothing more then copies of my soap scents.  I was adding new soaps all the time, creating many limited edition batches.  My library of raw fragrances used in the creation of soaps and lotions grew and grew.  I was surround by scents.  Every kind of scent imaginable.  I started experimenting, blending this with that.  New fragrances were born, my fragrances.  For me, creating scents was like creating visions or dreams.  I could create a scent that reminded me of summers spent laying the grass and cloud gazing when I was a child or of the feeling stepping into a cool, fresh, spring rain.  I fell truly, madly, and deeply in love...again.

Beyond Wylde Ivy, when I'm not daydreaming up new scents and soaps, I'm trying to keep up with my twin daughters and laughing with my husband, running around with my crazy dog, hiking in the Appalachian Mountains surround our home, and taking photographs.  I love traveling and car trips, hiking and the outdoors, watching fish swim, the ocean, and anything that grows.  

I'm always looking for new visions to turn into perfumes.

Warm, cozy and sentimental!

I Love this perfume, I wish everything smelled like this! It has a sentimental cozy smell. It reminds me of reading murder mystery books with my grandfather while he smoked his spicy tobacco pipe. This is now my signature scent and I can't wait for more products that smell like this.

Smells amazing

I absolutely adore this set! My three faves are The Black Cat, The Number 13, and the Broken Mirror. Black cat and number 13 are very sultry and have a warm spicy vibe (which I adore) and Broken Mirror is very fresh. The owl has a very honeyed smell and the crow is a bit more masculine than I prefer for myself, but they're all really wonderful and well-formulated. Likely will be coming back for some full sizes of my faves. The packaging is also really beautiful and the shipping was very fast. Can't recommend this company or this collection enough

giving giddy fruit vibes

this is what I wish all gummy worms and gummy bears tasted like. Like if blue raspberry marshmallows homemade by your best friend as a kid met adult version of her with a tropical summery cocktail in hand. Super sweet, flirty, and just a really fun perfume to wear when you have no idea which perfume to pick!

this was my first perfume from this creator and was recommended by a close friend. I love it. my only take back is it is slightly oily but it absorbs into your skin fast enough its not an issue.

Lovely perfume oil sample. Not for me, unfortunately. That's why we buy samples first! Nicely packaged and decorated.

Got here fast! Great service! Cheers

It smells amazing, but don't rely on the smell from the bottle. Spraying it on makes it smell soooo much better!! A little seems to go a long way.

I use this a lot throughout the day when my hands get dry or my legs, arms, and feet are ashy.

It's really nice and moisturizing body butter. Great after a nice hot shower.

Love all their perfume and especially the body oil spary . I'm about to buy some other oil scents now.

Love all their perfume , but this one is one of my top. The body oil spary is amazing too. I'm about to buy some other oil scents now.

Amazing!

I read some online reviews about this perfumer and decided to try a few out. I was super happy to find this build your own sampler pack. I found my new scent and ordered the full size version! They also sent a couple freebies and a cute sticker which was really nice.

This body butter smells really good and the texture is really nice. I love the sticker and the perfume that came with it. The perfume also smells really nice and it reminds me of a perfume oil i own. :)

These fragrances were exactly what I was looking for. It's so hard to find nice, woodsy and earthy scents that don't reek of alcohol or generic cologne. These are just divine and smell exactly as described. I loved the samples, too! I definitely found my new favorite fragrance shop.

I Love the clean ozone smell, the cedar is a bit heavy but over a fantastic scent.

Wow - this collection is stunning!

I've wanted to try Wylde Ivy forever and this collection caught my eye. I'm so glad I tried it - each scent is really well done and captures the mood beautifully. An Agony of Desire is my favorite - it wears close to the skin and smells gorgeous. I can't wait to explore more from this house!

Wylde Summer

I got the Wylde Summer body oil awhile back from Surrender to Chance and I've been loving it so much I had to come and buy a bigger one!! I got some other scents too and cant wait to try them. I love this scent and how moisturizing the oil is, I have dry skin and this helps a lot.

These are always so cute!

We like to order our favorites from Wylde Ivy and grab a few samples to find new favorites as well. For this round, my 7year old wanted a candy style perfume so we tried Kisses like Candy and The Way you Blush. Both are cotton candy esque, but Kisses Ike Candy is lighter more vanilla and the Way You Blush gives more strawberry cotton candy. She likes both and we’ll decide on a full size of one, depending on which she reaches for more.

Always my favorite

This has been one of my go to summer scents from Wylde Ivy for over 10 years.
She Sells Sea Shells is classy and beachy in one while being reminiscent of coconut lotion and
ocean air even when you aren’t at the beach, but that won’t stop the compliments of “you smell like the beach”!
